Are you interested in computers and healthcare?
The health information management (HIM) field can place you right where the expanding arena of healthcare meets the cutting edge of
technology. According to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the field of computer and information
systems managers that includes professions
in health information technology (HIT)
and technology management are forecast
to grow faster than the
average of all
occupations through the year 2014.
As an HIM professional, you will be the
expert on patient data that doctors,
nurses, and other healthcare staff use
to perform their jobs.
Many employment opportunities exist
for HIM
professionals in a variety of work settings. Traditionally, HIM professionals are
employed in hospitals or
clinics,
but an increasing number of jobs exist in
settings such as health maintenance
organizations, physician offices,
consulting firms, and with information system
vendors.
